Sat, Jul 6, 15h-17hOne Idea Leads to Another - Presentation of Results and Walk through the Gardens with Gustavo Ciríaco
Gustavo Ciríaco will present a walk through the Gardens of Palácio, based on the workshop “One idea leads to another”, which the artist presented throughout the week, based on the memories of that location, but also on the urban surroundings of the wastelands and the water of the river that runs through the city.Meeting point: Gallery counter
Gustavo Ciríaco was born in Rio de Janeiro and is currently living in Lisbon. He is a choreographer and transdisciplinary artist who moves between dance and the visual arts, through exhibition projects and interventions where experience is the driving force behind sharing with the public. With a site-specific character, his works foster dialogue between context and architecture, geography and dwelling, reality and fiction, in a continuous research into the extensive fields of the art of making dances. His works have been seen at festivals such as Crossing the Line/N.York; Casa Encendida/Madrid; Serralves Museum/Porto; Mercat de Flors/Barcelona; Al-Mammal Foundation/Jerusalem; TWS/Tokyo; DAC/Taipei; Haus der Kulturen der Welt/Berlin; Panorama/Rio; FADJR/Tehran; Nave/Santiago, San Art/Saigon.This workshop marks the beginning of Gustavo Ciríaco's 30-year career, to be celebrated between 2025-2026.

0.5 Bodies and Language for a garden and a city: Dance workshop with Melissa Pérez Sousa
This workshop is divided into two moments, for two places: the Gardens of Palácio de Cristal and the urban surroundings of Galeria Municipal do Porto.Through the temporal space of a body in movement, we'll propose new ways of representing the architecture and social language of a city.How can dance be shown in a public space? If the city is traversed by different speeds, by car, on foot, by bicycle, how can you give a certain velocity to bodies that dance? A square, a garden or a public building have different scales and logics of occupation. In this workshop we will rehearse these variations and contaminate each place with our passage.Melissa Pérez Sousa was born and raised in Venezuela. She studied Contemporary Dance Performance in Caracas and Social Dances of the African Diaspora (Urban Drumming, Hip Hop, House, Tap and Body Percussion) in New York. As a performer, she has worked with Sandrine Lescourant, Dana Foglia, Ladies of Hip Hop Festival, Alvin Alley School, Jorge Gonçalves, Joclécio Azevedo, Catarina Campos, Marco da Silva Ferreira, Jonas & Lander, Bouziane Bouteldja, Jep Melendez. She is the creator of En el Vacío (2017) and co-creator of BOWND (2019) and PLAYGROUND.Starting in Matosinhos and Porto, she founded the pedagogical project YOLK - Free Styler Dance Project with Catarina Campos, focusing on improvisation through Street and Club Dances that take place in the urban public space. She is currently developing the solo project TAMBOR, which was recently in artistic residency at the Paulo Cunha e Silva Campus.Image: Renato Cruz Santos -
